What do you prefer- getting high or drunk?

[mnewsham]

Yet I still manage to have an awesome time. Go figure.

You're kidding yourself if you think we can't enjoy ourselves sober, but whatever makes you happy :thumbsup:

 

[mnewsham]

Correct

I vaporize it, BIG difference and also gives you a much cleaner/less head heavy feeling......without all the chemicals caused by combustion.

Vaporizing = heating it up enough to extract THC without igniting/flame.

And it doesn't require as much weed either.....

There is SO many benefits to Vaporizing I'm not even sure why people smoke it all together.

yup very true, though I don't always want a vape high, so I have several other ways to consume if I feel so inclined

Family reunion..
everyone under 30: high
everyone over 40: drunk
everyone 30-40: drunk & high.

I didn't fuck my cousin, on drugs.

So you fucked your 40+ year old cousin :hmm:

Yeah. Different methods (and strains) produce different results. One of the many advantages over alcohol.

yup, right now I have a pre-rolled joint, two glass pipes, a wooden pipe, and a vaporizer all within 5 feet of me. If I want a more relaxing high, vape. If I want to actually go do chores, or go to work, usually I will hit my wooden pipe ( i like the taste more too).

There is a method for any occasion.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

When I was 18? High and it wasn't close. Now I'm old (32) and haven't touched anything since I was 18. 14 years of being completely sober. I honestly don't know how I'd like either now that I've gotten older. I've changed so much since then. If I had to guess I probably wouldn't like either one if I was to try them.

Different types of booze tend to produce different types of drunken stupors as well.

its not to the same extent as marijuana though, you can take two strains, smoke them and have two entirely different experiences, you can take those two strains and bake them into edibles and make it different again, vaping is again different. Also there are hundreds of strains, higher THC strains, higher CBD strains, Indica, sativa, hybrid, etc.

True

Although there is just about as many varieties of alcohol, the feeling you get is just about the same.

You either get buzzed, drunk or simply shitfaced. None of them feel good (to me) and make me sick.

Regardless if I drink wine/beer or liquor.

Mind you, I'm sure different people might get different feelings from Alcohol....

I also know people that simply don't get hang overs AT ALL (like my father). If that was the case for me, I would probably have a drink here and there.

In general though, I've seen alcohol fuck up more people's lives than all of the street drugs/prescription drugs combined.

 

[dave_the_nerd]

High.

For me, it's more or less like the good aspects of a good buzz, magnified (happy, relaxed, slightly tingly all over) without the negatives (upset stomach, hangover, continued drinking under the guise of buzz management.) I don't feel any more or less uninhibited one way or the other.

I never smoked though, just edibles, so it might be a slightly different sensation.

Don't anymore either, because I am extra-susceptible to pink-eye, and work can random drug-test. I like my job, TYVM. But I rarely drink as a next-best-thing because while beer is tasty, getting drunk is more trouble than it's worth.

 

[Vdubchaos]

Another thing I forgot to bring up is dosage

2 hits is all it takes to keep me going for 2-4 hours EASY

Alcohol on the other hand, 2-3 beers and you have a buzz for what? 20-30 min?

Depends on the beer. I don't even feel Coronas until the 4th or 5th one. Don't try that shit with anything from Stone, though.

 

[Remobz]

you ever fuck while stoned?

Nothing in the world like it, that shit will change your life.

I only tried weed a few times during my University days. Felt so damn relax and my penis got sooooooooo sensitive that sex felt really really good.

Now this is my problem. I cannot handle smoking and cough my lungs out and have throat problems (long story there). Second hand smoke annoys me as well.

Whether I want to be a smoker or not my body cannot handle it. I suffer side effects. And I will not do needles or snort crap up my nose either.

So in summary, I have to settle for alcohol by default.

 

[Fritzo]

You're kidding yourself if you think we can't enjoy ourselves sober, but whatever makes you happy :thumbsup:

Then why don't you?

 

[clamum]

I no longer do either but about 10 years ago I would've said "high", no contest. But from about 8-9 years ago on, I would've definitely preferred drunk. I used to smoke quite a bit but started to get pretty paranoid when I did, so I cut down and then just stopped. I have no interest in smoking anymore. Drinking is another story but no more of that either.

You don't have to smoke weed......

 

[mnewsham]

Then why don't you?

Massive debilitating migraines 2-3 times per month, any of the meds the neurologist prescribed would either not work (i have a specific type of migraine) or they took away my appetite. At first i smoked for the appetite aspect as I had lost 10lbs in 5 weeks, however I quickly found out that with the pot I didn't need the other meds at all. So now my only drug is pot and I havent had a single migraine in 8+ months.


I do have sober days however, and I can really enjoy them without wanting or needing pot

invest in a vaporiser if you can't handle the smoke, vaporisers are much easier on the lungs, also you can take your ABV (already been vaped) and make it into edibles so you get two uses from it, and no smoke

Getting drunk.

I never really understood the fascination with getting high. I've done it many different ways, vapes, bongs, joints, etc etc etc to varying degrees of highness and I've never really cared for it. It just makes me feel mopey and slows everything down, which isn't that great an experience. Music doesn't really change for me either, I still hate all that psychedelic/dubstep music crap.

And is weed actually a hallucenegen? I haven't seen/heard any of that shit, I just feel normal, just a bit stupider.

At least with getting drunk, things get so much more fun, much more talkative, and I feel nice and warm inside.

Be careful with that. We used some vaped stuff with a mix of unused weed and baked some brownies....not sure if it was the amount or some kind of chemical reaction but we were tripping and it wasn't good. My bro in law passed out (thankfully I caught him). Very scary.

Let's just say we don't bake weed AT ALL anymore......EVER.

 

[utahraptor]

I prefer both, but I feel better in the mornings if i only had THC the night before.

So you're more of a medicinal user then. My issue is with recreational users.

ABV is higher CBD and thus a much more lethargic high than a "normal" high, if you aren't used to it and you take a large dose, i can see it having those side effects.

Sounds like you smoked some SHITTY weed.

Good weed will not slow everything down, quite the opposite. It will give you upbeat/more awareness type of high. You will see better/clearer as well.

Me without weed = lazy

Also it improves my hearing. I hear things in music I NEVER hear when sober.

Give me some good weed and I will get all kinds of shit done. And done right too! My wife tells me I'm like a mad man when I have a toke and get out into a yard or work on cars etc. For whatever reason I can focus so much better and I have that motivation in me. It's weird.

Also I cannot fall asleep or get tired while on it.

On the other hand, if you smoke some dirt mexican crap. Yeah you will be your "typical" head heavy, lazy and snoopy pot head that so often goes with the "generalizations" we all hear.

What's ABV and CBD?

hehe

We def put A LOT into the brownies, that's what we figured. It was more of an "overdose" type of a thing/bad reaction from THC overload.
